[Gobtales] Nightwatch

[dreamthief]

As D'Bruuhl moves to talk, one of the robed figures turns towards him. "The Night Watch? They be hiring gobs to do work? Don't ask and move along, Gob, if you know what's good for you." You can see the face of the man. He's bearded and haggard, and his hand moves to the longsword at his waist. You hear the chinks of armor he wears underneath his robes.

Goubido then walks right pass the man to the other man who's dragging what looks like an unconscious sailor across the ground. The robed man is startled as Goubido tries to help. The other two robed men are at alert.

"What.... let him go!" The man who had been speaking to D'Bruuhl draws his sword. "I'm warning you... get on your way!" One of the robed figures draws a mace, and another a short sword. The one that Goubido tried to help is too startled.

In the mist, Ashgyad and Glorath manage to remain hidden easily. There's some barrels just 10' away from the cart and the two hide themselves behind it.

Ashgyad makes his move...

Whispering under his breath in the shadows, Ashgyad scatters the sand in the air as he chants "Kythra Dormis Loros!!"

OOC: Ashgyad casts Sleep, targeted on the four robed men and the sailor.

 

[Dog Faced God]

Goubido gives the unconscious sailor the once over to make sure he's a) alive b) uninjured.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Rakanishu attempts to get out of the view of the robed men while they are distracted with Goubido but to remain within range to get a good hit in with his crossbow.

(move silently +10 to within 30' of the one with the longsword where he can hide +10, then take aim with his crossbow so as to sneak attack him)

 

[Dalamar]

Glorath pulls back the arrow on his bow and readies to let it loose on anybody to try harming Goubido.
Who let that dumb there? This is going just great.

 

[Mirth]

"Look, I don't want any trouble." D'Bruuhl doesn't pull his sword yet but does keep his hand on it.

Indicating Goubido, he says, "We only want to help."

This situation is quickly getting out of control, D'Bruuhl thinks to himself. He starts to sweat.

"Sheath your weapons and state your business, and perhaps together we can keep any bloodshed from happening."

Now, D'Bruuhl pulls himself to his full height, and his voice becomes very serious. "No matter what you may think of me and my kin, I am the law here and you must obey what I say. There are bows trained on your associates right now. If you make any move to attack, the others will open fire."

 

[dreamthief]

"Help?" Says the apparent leader. As D'Bruuhl begins his threat about arrows, Ashgyad's spell takes effect, and the leader and one of his cohorts fall to the ground. The remaining two look confused. One of them spins to you in panic.

"WE'RE JUST COLLECTING.. THE RIFFRAFF FROM THE NIGHT BEFORE! THE DRUNKS! WE'RE.. WE'RE PUBLIC SERVANTS TOO!" says one of the robed men. The other robed figure draws his mace apparently trying to see where the magic might have been coming from.

Goubido feels a momentary disorientation, but shakes it off. Examining the sailor, the goblin notices that he is unconscious but can't tell if alcohol is the cause.

 

[Dog Faced God]

Goubido shakes and slaps the unconscious sailor to wake him up while sniffing at his nose and mouth for the smell of alcohol. He shouts into the face of the sailor, "You get on the drunk-wagon now, Boats!!"

 

[Mirth]

D'Bruuhl speaks in a calm voice to the man who is yelling. "If what you say is true, then put your weapons away and we will help you."

If they are collecting drunks, then why are they so heavily armed & armored?

D'Bruuhl says to the other gobs [goblin] "The rest of you step forward and show these men that they are outnumbered. Let's hope they're not lying about who they are." [/goblin]

 

[garyh]

Ashgyad steps forward from the shadows, keeping his crossbow trained on the last man who spoke.
